I wanted to keep this knife simple, but still give it a very usefully elegant touch. With a 2 3/4" edge length, blade OAL 5 3/4" and a hand made leather pocket sheath. The Ancient days finish rounds out the knife for a solid grip texture and some cool factor.
Heat treat done by Pual Bos heat treating to my specifications. Target hardness 61-62Hrc, 2125f Austenitize temp, cryo, temper. This is to split the difference in toughness vs hardness. going higher hardness can cause excess retained austenite and make the steel more brittle. So I split the difference in Austenitizing temp (2100-2150) so as to get a little more hardness and a little more toughness.
